More about Bonnie

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist (LCSW) in California with three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice focuses on addressing trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood-related concerns with a direct, honest, compassionate, faith-informed approach.

I offer dedicated support for diverse populations, including veterans, caregivers, older adults, and individuals navigating significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates tried and true evidence-based techniques to help clients develop resilience, hope, self-understanding, healing, and meaningful coping strategies.

With expertise in areas such as posttraumatic stress, mood & anxiety related disorders, and life purpose exploration, I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can heal, grow, and rediscover their inner strength. My commitment is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance as you navigate your individual and unique journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
